How can I create a Watcher Assignee Report?

Is there a way to search for Watchers on Issues?

Hi Donna,

Yes, advanced search does it.  Simplest test, try

watcher = "the name of a person you know is watching at least one issue"

It supports watcher = currentUser() which can be handy on shared dashboards, and watcher in (multiple names), and other functions that list users

Finally, there's a watchers field, which you can say things like "watchers > 3" to list all issues that have more than three watchers!

Thank you @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- . Unforturnately the only option that comes up for me is the currentUser(). I am unable to add a name there. Is there a youtube on this to refer me to for a demo or some documentation?

Ignore the drop-down, you need to say 

watcher = "the name of a person you know is watching at least one issue"

For example, on the ACL Sandbox:

Sorry it took me so long to let you know, but that works perfectly! Thank you, @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- .
